UPGRADE

For the longest time, Linda has been ignoring the HP computer prompts that told her she needed to upgrade.  Because she knows zippy about computers, she wasn't sure if it was some kind of scammer trying to get a worm inside her computer. (See, she knows enough to say Worm and not Caterpillar, although she is not sure she is using Worm in the right context.)  Today, there was a bright yellow IMPORTANT message that she needed to update RIGHT NOW or the computer would be at risk.  OK.. you got her attention.  She went ahead and pressed the button. WHOA!! Whatever they upgraded is the bomb!!   IT'S AMAZING! The upgrade made our screen so bright that it feels like I'm typing on a new computer.  She didn't realize how dark it was.  Sometimes, she would have to turn and twist the laptop because she could not really see what was on the screen.  Now it's so bright you need sunglasses.  Plus, there has been a clunking sound that sounded like little elves banging underneath the keyboard.  Now that is gone too! 

To celebrate, she wants to go to Sweet Frog to get some yogurt.  As always, the one mile drive seems just sooooo far.  I know her brothers and sisters from her churches in Africa walk 10 miles or more to church, but she is so spoiled that driving one mile for something she really wants seems like too much trouble.   Would someone please bring her a big cup of coconut/mango/cake batter yogurt with lots of fresh fruit, rainbow sprinkles and whip cream?   Thank you very much.
